Daryl Horgan in the thick of the action at Wycombe.

While some may be tempted by a clash with one of the Premier League big boys in the next stage Horgan says North End’s aim is simply to get as far as they can in the world’s most iconic cup competition.

“”They’re all winnable but a pretty winnable draw for us would be great,” Horgan said.

“No-one wants to be talking about a great 2-1 loss against Manchester United or Manchester City.

“You want to compete and get as far as you possibly can.

“If it turns out we’ve got one of them we’ll try and get an upset

“But we want to progress and get a cup run going and see where it leads us.

“This cup can invigorate the city and get everyone on side. Everyone wants that opportunity to potentially go to Wembley.

“The longer you keep that dream alive the better it is for everyone.

“We’ll enjoy it and hopefully we can get into the fifth round as well.”

It may have been lower league opposition but it was an impressive display from Alex Neil’s side with Chris Maxwell, Ben Davies, Ben Pearson and Jordan Hugill all rested.
